“I didn’t know that Isagenix could enhance play and body together,” says Ottawa Redblack’s defensive back and linebacker T.J. Hill. “Any time football players have the opportunity to raise our playing level, we’re going to take an interest in it.”

That’s exactly what this 13-year football veteran did.

An Interception

When first introduced to Isagenix, the Canadian Football League (CFL) player wasn’t looking to drop pounds—instead he wanted the best nutrition that would increase his athletic abilities and energize him.

“At the end of the day, I cannot control the results of a game, or if we’re going to win or lose,” says T.J., who’s played football since the age of 10. “But what I can control is that this person is not going to be in better shape than I am. He’s not going to outwork me.”

The New Jersey native would often, like many professional players, exercise to build muscle and gain weight.

Mentally, T.J. had no problem working out; physically, he was exhausted.

“I wasn’t trying to lose weight, but do have problems gaining and maintaining because I have a fast metabolism,” explains Hill.

T.J. was put on a regimen of IsaPro™ for recovery after games, along with Energenix® and e+ shots for stamina while working out.

“When I took the e+ shot, it was unlike anything I had taken before,” says T.J. “It doesn’t give you a big boost or high, but simply maintains a level of energy. I didn’t feel exhausted when working out anymore.”

Trial, With No Error

The success of T.J.’s tailored recovery regimen worked. But, he was still skeptical.

“I was so surprised by the power of Isagenix that I decided to do a trial and error test to see if my body was either in shock from using the new products, or if the products were actually beneficial,” explains T.J.

First, T.J. used the Isagenix system for five days. For the following five days after the trial, he returned to his former products.

“The week I went back to my old products, I was dead tired throughout the entire time,” recalls T.J. “So that’s when I returned to using the Isagenix products and thought, ‘These actually work.’”

It’s Working Out

Now, physical exhaustion during exercise is an afterthought.

“I have taken so many different products from health companies, and when I tell you nothing has worked for me—from over-the-counter medicines to energy drinks—Isagenix did. My tailored program maintains a level of working out without feeling tired.”

That power of stamina has made T.J. feel in control of his life—especially during game time.

“Physically and mentally, I feel like I’m always going to have an upper hand,” says T.J. “And the results of what happens is going to occur through the course of the game. But I can control what shape I am in, and Isagenix helped me get here.”

A Happy Accident

Mark’s professional Mixed Marshal Arts (MMA) career occurred all by accident. Although a football and wrestling star during high school, the now 37-year-old MMA fighter was convinced that his passion for sports had disappeared.

In 2006, a routine day at work changed his career—and perspective on sports—for life.

“I was working at UPS as a delivery driver and stopped at one of my usual distributions, a chiropractor,” recalls Mark. “They helped MMA athletes recover, but also promoted the fights. The chiropractor and I began discussing the competitions, and he gave me a ticket to check out a match.”

MMA includes a combination of wrestling, jiujitsu, muay thai, boxing, kickboxing and judo. After watching a few rounds of the sport, Mark thought: “I could do that.”

And the rest is history.

The Comeback Kid

Now, Mark is an undefeated 2-0 MMA professional champion.

“The stress of a weight cut can drain you mentally as well as physically,” declares Mark, who attributes his current success to Isagenix. “Before, I would starve myself to make sure I was on weight. When I switched to Isagenix, my energy level went through the roof which in turn made my stamina during fights increase because I had the energy to ramp up my training to higher levels of intensity.”

Even after a fight, Mark notices a difference in recovery.

“There are different factors that go into how many days it takes to recover,” explains Mark. “But, the recovery process also sped up because I was getting the vital nutrients through Isagenix products that helped my body repair itself.”

From an athlete’s perspective, Mark believes that the harder one pushes, the better that person will become.

“Isagenix gave me the tools of being at optimum performance levels which are crucial in the sport,” says Mark. “To get what we’ve had, we must do what we’ve never done. Isagenix was that for me.”

Isagenix in the Ring

After competing as an active amateur fighter and assistant coach in MMA competitions for six years, the Georgia-based fighter decided to take a three-year hiatus in 2011. As a result, Mark gained 40 pounds of fat due to inactivity.

“He had been telling me about certain supplements I needed to try that would enable me to lose unwanted fat and promote lean muscle in the process,” says Mark. “After a month of him preaching to me, I decided to give it a shot.”

That “shot” resulted in Mark releasing 55 pounds* and building the lean muscle needed to compete professionally.

“My three-year comeback fight, which was a win, was against Alex Nicholson out of Florida,” recalls Mark. “The fight was an absolute battle and Isagenix helped me become better.”

Patricia Guerra of Distrito Federale, Mexico, has achieved feats very few have as a professional open water swimmer. In 2004, she swam the near-equivalent of a full marathon when she tackled The English Channel, a 23.69-mile stretch of water that includes turbulent tidal conditions. A swimmer can expect at least 10 hours in the frigid, 50-degree temperatures—without a wetsuit per national regulations. To endure the icy waters, open water swimmers need to create their own natural “wetsuit” of sorts: a layer of body fat.

Shedding the “WetSuit”

After 10 years of open water swimming and even braving the low, 40-degree waters of the Straight of Magellan (she’s one of very few swimmers to complete the 1.4-mile swim), Patricia decided to hang up her professional swim cap and start shedding her “wetsuit.”

Though her diet and nutrition had always been carefully monitored by a nutritionist, she was surprised by how difficult it was to lose the excess body fat after leaving the sport of open water swimming.

After successfully shedding the extra fat with the help of Isagenix®, the professional swimmer continues to use the products to maintain her energy and performance to swim for good causes, raising funds for organizations and awareness in her community.

“I was never able to completely lose all of the extra fat I had put on. Isagenix helped me finally lose that extra weight.”**

“I still use Isagenix products every single day,” explains Patricia. “The product quality is far superior to any other product available on the market and I’ve noticed a marked improvement in my performance. My recovery periods are much faster and my vitality is outstanding.”

An Unexpected Gain

“Once people saw my results, they wanted to know more about the products. I shared the benefits of losing weight and eliminating toxins from our bodies and that was the start of my business,” shares Patricia. “People also love the energy they experience and how the products taste.”

In fact, taste was one of the biggest factors that swayed Patricia to begin using Isagenix, especially after 10 years of using nutritional supplements as a professional athlete.
